    If you think that, then think again.  The sole reason for the programme is to develop nuclear weapons, and yes, that is illegal.  They were helped by both the French and the Pakistanis, no surprise there. Yes, you are right, in that the totally inadequate treaty was quite rightly torn up by the US, so there are insufficient to no checks going on. 

    It is not illegal if you renounce the NPT, which NK and Iran have done. Both countries were suffering UM sanctions for dropping the treaty. Both tried to trade a commitment not to seek nukes with IAEA oversight , for some sanctions relief. Scurrilously they didn't get the sanctions relief, despite the IAEA confirming that they were not breaking the treaty. Do you blame them for dropping the NPT? I think all nations that want to stay independent and sovereign need nukes to prevent the US with regime changes like Saddam & Gaddafi (both of whom gave up nukes). Kim saw he was in the same program and said FO and built his nukes (we think), but we don't see the US harassing him with colour revolutions too much these days. 

  2. The non-horn-using readers are obviously saints and they will get their reward in heaven. As of me, well whenever someone on the road makes a mistake my put my fist on the horn for about 5 minutes straight. Despite warnings from the family, I haven't been killed yet.

  3. So far I am rather unimpressed with technology, it has some pros but it has been used to make customers life more difficult and businesses more profitable by making it impossible for you to speak to a human at almost any business. Customer service has become deplorable.

    I very much doubt I will be impressed by, or feel more secure with AI surveillance. I will be waiting for the great mistake where a troop of trigger happy soldiers bursts into my home looking for weed.

    I think, like with EVs, the public and investors are being conned by AI. At the end of the day it is GIGO....garbage in, garbage out and we see with Google's rewriting of history putting women and bald men in pictures of Presidents, that it should be called AS...Artifical Stupidity.

  4. I don't make too many predictions but I do make this one, Trump won't be elected and I think Biden will drop out.....he can't campaign and can't debate and America should have a leader who has all his faculties. I think Trump's law fare situation is looking dire, and there is a limit to how much the SCOTUS can dig him out of his farcical situation. His musings against biased judges and biased AGs and prosecutors are always spot on, but his bleating them out without compelling evidence isn't helping him. I think he will be rid of the vile perjurer Fani Williams soon, but will still have a law suit against him in a hostile county. Contrast the FBI won't prosecute Biden because he is frail and weak minded and I betcha Hunter gets tried in a Biden-or-die state/county. American Injustice in a politically polarised country where when one side is winning they care nothing for due process....but complain like hell when they are losing. The US is a BROKEN BANANA STATE. Pity the poor world with this pretend leader as the hegemon.

  5. I have an ad blocker so I don't get plagued with ads like some complain of. I was a member years ago. It was better when it was ThaiVisa. Asean Now added nothing to the platform in my opinion and I find the inconsistent and pro-Israel bias in the moderation very difficult to accept. If it gets taken over I'll give it a try to see how it is. Mike Lister did a survey her a month or two back about what posters felt about the forum....I don't remember getting a feedback of the consolidated comments, but that may well down to my inattentiveness. 

    The things that freaks me out about the forum is these months old commentaries with 6000 odd responses and 35 pages.....at least give us the option to view the latest comments first instead of wading through 000s of comments.

    That sucks, they are a very small place with limited staff. My account out near Maya MAll Branch a small original one ended up in Central Airport, what a bitch to get to. And the main guy there has left who was extremely helpful.

    This thread is nearly two years old. Moderators how about flagging these ancient relics??????

    No, that bishop was an a55hole he was an anti vaccer and complained about the Sydney lockdown 

    So he deserved to be stabbed? I think you need to examine your moral compass, mate. He disagrees with a few things that you agree with; but you think anyone whose views don't coincide with your deserves a good stabbing. Keep well away from me, please.
